The biostratinomy of Dikelocephalus sclerites: implications for the use of trilobite attitude data.
- Abstract:
-
Model sclerites of the trilobite Dikelocephalus were qualitatively observed under 2 different hydrodynamic conditions: falling through still water and entrained in flowing water. Most pygidia were found to glide backwards through still water in a convex up attitude, whereas most cranidia glided forwards in a convex down position. Presented data from fossils show just such a pattern of final dispositions. In flowing water both sclerites were found to behave in a similar manner to each other. T...
